Does scrubbing skin lighten it?

Today, one of the significant skin troubles, we all need to deal with, is skin dullness and hyper-pigmentation caused due to excessive exposure to pollutants and the sun.

One of the main reasons why the skin may appear dull is the accumulation of dead skin cells on epidermis(top layer) of the skin. Scrubbing effectively exfoliates your skin, which leads to the removal of the dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin. The process helps your skin to get rid of impurities and makeup residues.

The technique of scrubbing works quite well in skin lightening. It also boosts the efficiency of other topical skin brightening products by allowing them to penetrate easily through your pores. The result is brighter and softer skin faster.
